IT IS TRUE. I am that way. My father was that way.
There, I said it.
One thing I learned is that men are catered to by their mothers (with some obvious exceptions, as in all things) much more as boys than their sisters.
My father used to lay in bed, moaning for more water, pills, Kleenex...while my mother was able to run the house and get things done with a 102 degree fever.
Interesting sociological/gender issue... LOL
But I am working on it...
